tingsern: I can't reinstall WinXP Pro--my old computer died. It wasn't a choice to switch to Vista; the computer that was the right price and could handle my needs had Vista. Vista's here to stay.
pjsssss: I agree--I don't think GV intended to try to get people to buy an upgrade because of the OS either. I'm sorry if I implied that. However, if 2.5 stops working under Vista (which I did not know would happen, of course, when I purchased a new computer with Vista on it) and I can't "upgrade", then I would pay MORE for Edius 4.5 than I paid for my entire computer and operating system combined (yes, I did get a good deal on my system). Yeah, Edius 4.5 is probably worth more money, I'm not and have never argued that it is not, but that doesn't mean I can afford it. And, I paid for 2.5 and it seems like that ought to be worth SOMETHING, even just $50 for good PR.
Bottom line is, if there are others out there with Edius 2.5 (still a good program) who are running Vista, there is a way (see post above) to keep it running. Seems like a good thing to know.
2nd bottom line is, let's hope that the Vista service release solves some of these ridiculous problems.
